On the front page, the columnist exclaims "I have been silenced!". The fourth panel shows Fox News, with the announcer saying "... here with his new book "I have been silenced."" and once again, the columnist exclaims "I have been silenced!"

Jessica Elgot: Without minimising the dire results for labour, it's extraordinary how chipper the Tories are. They've lost 500 seats from a low watermark, lost historic major councils to Lib Dems and Reform, show no signs of recovery in the esp LD areas they need to win. But MPS seem to think it's going well. If this was labour in opposition, there would be huge pressure on the leader to resign. In particular they seem absolutely resolute not to do anything at all about millions of their former voters who are now habitually voting Lib Dem. They just don't even seem to think about it.

Good afternoon, I am writing, as a Spurs fan of going on 40y, for the first time. Sorry I guess that makes me a "legacy" fan. But at this point, it's clear to me that the club I've supported since junior school is entirely focussed on making the wrong decision at every turn. One could almost believe that the decisions are being taken only and entirely to troll the fan base. If you disregard De Zerbi's trenchant support of a man widely accused of sexual assault and rape - which, let's be clear, you absolutely should NOT disregard - there is nothing suggesting that De Zerbi is going to be anything other than another Mourinho or Conte, but without the CV. What has he done? Oh, he plays technical tippy tappy build up play - I don't know if you guys have seen our squad play any matches recently but we've been lucky in a couple of games to manage to string 5 or 6 passes together into something approximating a passage of play. De Zerbi is an obnoxious, toxic personality who starts fights with anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat, who falls out with teams, supporters, media and boards, and who hasn't lasted more than three seasons at any coaching role he's been appointed to. But, as alluded to, the biggest issue is that he stands up for toxic people in an era where arguably it's more fun to watch Spurs Women than Spurs Men. His appointment is vehemently opposed by large sections of the fanbase and big supporters groups such as Proud Lillywhites and Women of the Lane among many others. I want nothing more than success for Tottenham Hotspur FC, but I don't want that to come at the expense of our soul or our values. This is a mess entirely of the board's making and running around like headless chickens ... is not the way to dig yourselves out of it. Roberto De Zerbi isn't the answer to any question being asked of Tottenham Hotspur in 2026, and he never will be. Please, for the sake of the soul and values of this club, don't appoint him. Yours in hope more than expectation,
Friday’s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards. At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire. At 12:31 he said everything was perfect. At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing. At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz. At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed. At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran. At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran. By 3:43 PM he told CBS he doesn’t want a ceasefire. By 5:13 PM - 13 minutes after futures markets closed for the weekend, in a coincidence that should be studied in every securities fraud textbook - he posted on Truth Social that the US is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts”. The S&P reversed more than 1% in seconds. QQQ had already surged 1.1% in the 80 minutes before the announcement, with call options flowing in at a pace that suggests someone, somewhere, had an itinerary.
Lucy was holding the football, and charlie brown believed she *wasn't* going to remove the ball at the last minute, but she did anyway. In this case, the gullible charlie brown taking a fall is labelled "global financial markets" and lucy, who keeps promising to keep the ball there but always moves it at the last minute is labelled "donald trump announcing he's thinking of winding down the iran war"

A clip from the BBC news channel aired in the UK just before 10:00 a.m. on the 28th of February 2026, where North American correspondent David Willis just blindly announces to the world that President Obama made no progress in getting Iran to the negotiating table, completely ignoring the JCPOA, from which Trump withdrew in 2019.

A "Truth Social" post from Donald Trump. It's absolute drivel, I'm going to save you the brain power of interpreting what your screen reader would make of it. Suffice it to say that he has basically used a Obi-Wan Kenobi argument of "If you strike my tariffs down, they will becomes imagine!" Yes, it's that dumb.
